Trends in the Department of Defense's Support Costs

Abstract

The U.S. military's readiness to respond to current and future threats depends on the quality and availability of military forces - personnel, weapon systems such as ships and aircraft, and other material resources such as ammunition and fuel. In turn, the quality and availability of military forces depend on the support infrastructure. The military uses that support infrastructure - such as bases, depots, and schools - to recruit personnel, train units for deployment, acquire and maintain equipment, construct facilities, provide health care, facilitate communications, and more.
